Hi,

Huskees are good. Wipper-snip I wouldn't get anything other than a Honda. Unless you're looking to slap 5+ hours a day on it, then I'd get an Echo. Screw replacing a Honda every six months.

You need to tell us what you got man, this is a lawn mowing thread! Pics of new beasts or website images at least!!!

Cheers,
Nik

Husqvarna 345 chainsaw. Better than a Stihl IMO



Echo SRM-2305 whipper snipper


Victa 2 stroke Lawnmower (like everyone has) same as the one on the left but yellow




This is my favorite tool in the shed.

Makita 1013 sliding compound mitre saw.


Took the lazy option..web images.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

I need a Mitre in my life, I don't even have a circular. Don't really need that kind of tooling at work, so I don't have it at all.

Web images are fine. Pretty funny you got the Echo. Great minds. Aussie tough!

Cheers,

If you are going to buy a circular I would recommened a 185mm (7 1/4"). I have a Hitachi 185mm and its great. I use it the most. I have a Makita 235mm (9 1/4") and its too big and heavy and cant really do much more than the Hitachi.

You can buy cheap drop saws that will do the job if you dont use them often.


Happy with the Echo. 100x better than the POS Ryobi I used to have.

Well I think I win the "Most Neglected Lawn" award this year:



Off to tackle it now... wish me luck!

If you don't hear from me again, you can assume I got lost out there and I've been eaten by a pack of wild cannibal trolls.

Buzz, that's a disgrace. You could probably lose a couple of kids in there.

A 6 pack is needed after the completion of that.

[Hypnotic]

Buzz, throw up some pics of the end result, just to prove you did it

[buzzda]

Done for now. Hit it with the whippera snippera to knock it down to bout a foot, was still bit damp so just mowed on highest setting with no catcher and raked it all up. Gonna give it couple days to dry out bit more then hit it again at normal height and catch it to make it all nice and tidy.

[buzzda]

Hi,

Nice before and after shots Buzz. Good effort. It's too hot today to get stuck in out here.

Hi,

Inspired by the weather and Buzz's efforts, me and my mate tackled the lawn out from cellar door.



It's raining today - go figure.

Cheers,

Your dog has the coolest backyard ever.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

Put the fence up about a year ago, she is still genuinely perplexed by its existence. She loves the space though, I don't think there are too many miniature Schnauzer's living on 75a.

Dog needs a red and white coat.

Where's Schnauzer.

I don't know what a Schnauzer is.

Nice one Niko, were those leaning gums intentional? They look cool.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

This is a better shot, our new umbrellas we finally got delivered are in and up;



The leaning salmon gums were intentional grown on the foot of the slope they always go that way, unfortunately it looks like they've started to hit some rot. That bank is the side of our dam.

Cheers,
Nik

[buzzda]

Eh Niko, dunno if you remember but a while ago we were talking bout woods and I said I'd get some pics of M&D's benches? well I did, found em this arv:







3 are red gum, 1 is blue gum (the 1 under the shelves).
